Acceleration

Referrals for student evaluation should be made to the building principal. Students will be assessed using various instruments and measures of achievement.

The assessments are reviewed by an acceleration evaluation committee to determine the most appropriate learning environment. The committee will issue a written recommendation to the building principal and the student's parents or legal guardian. Parents have the right to appeal the committee's recommendation to the Superintendent or designee.

When appropriate, the committee will develop a written acceleration plan for any student admitted early to kindergarten, offered whole-grade acceleration, or acceleration in one or more individual subjects. A copy of the written plan will be provided to the student's parents or guardian.
